  The greatest piste in Iran is Dizin.
  There are other pistes in other cities , like Hamedan , Arak...
  but near Tehran the best is that there`s snow in 8 month of the year. and you can see a great snow in the piste.
  There sometimes is a little bit crowded , and some time the lifters are out of order , and it disturbs...
  but with these all , there so much fun and beautiful nature.

  The lift near Tajrish is the lift at Darband. You should take the lifts at Velenjak to get to Tochal. Velenjak is further west than Darband.

  I think your map is off (ed - will fix that). We took a taxi from the centre of Tehran to try to get to Tochal. It's in a park on the north of the city near Tajrish. Sadly, the lifts weren't running that day and a sign at the bottom said skiing is only open from Monday to Wednesday.

  Tochal is a great place to find snow in off season and is located just North of Tehran. Driving to the lifts are easy and somewhat less dangerous than driving to the other resorts (avalanche, bad drivers, etc...) The pistes are generally easy and great for snowboarders. One of the newer chair lifts seems to be a little rough and fast.
  Enjoy

  Tochal and Damavand are in the heart of all Iranians, especially those who live(ed) in Tehran. These two unique mysterious powerfull and beautiful mountains always help you to lift your moral and clean your sprit. They are the source of energy for all Iranians.
